LOLI do not get too much into politics and the big picture too much.Dennis I understand your position.My mom a few years ago had a full knee replacement.The surgeon that operated on her is one of the best in my half of the United States.Medicare covered part of it and then her secondary insurance picked up the rest.She was one of the last patients with Medicare that this Doctor took.The reason he no longer was taking Medicare is not only were they going to start squeezing them on pay outs but the bigger issue was control of the patient care.For instance my mom has one of the best knees with no issues and full range.It's the same the professional athletes get for sports etc.The surgeon was telling us Medicare was fixing to dictate to them what brand and quality of knees they would have to surgically install in their patients.All because they want to buy cheap crap to make a buck and buy in bulk.The surgeon said he is not putting in junk knees from Medicare and then the patient sues him for revisions,infections,messed up internal parts that fail prematurely when the problem isn't the surgeon but being forced to use an inferior product.More policy thinking they know what is best but creating more problems than solving them.

I am not sure this can actually be valid since the approval letter dictates the terms and conditions.
